Contemplation

The train thoughts are back and this time its noticing what American ways have influenced me;

Colloquial:-

- its not petrol anymore, its "gas"
- not speaking as fast as i used to, there's a lot of pausing, especially in between my sentences.
- usage of "like" in most places
- "how much does it cost" rather than "what's the charge"?
- potluck was new to me
- query "how are you?" more often


Customs:-

- the voicemail dependence
- salads for lunch time
- the countless variety of break/milk and other basics aren't puzzling anymore
- making appointments for every thing
- paper towel usage (quite excessive)
- ability to converse or make random comment with complete strangers


just an observation, its all good! :-)

Twinkle twinke little stars...

Babies - they are a bundle of joy, get away with anything n everything, full of surprises, curiosity at its peak, quick learners, change your life immensly and i guess actually teach you at the end of the day! Well the sudden baby talk is cos I'm now a huge fan of my 3 of my friends' little ones - Kitty, Dancing queen and Adi! I can't get enough of their pictures and their million expressions...everything is sooo cute, charming. They are absolutely adorable! Ofcourse while being overwhelmed by the 3 stars, all credit to the moms - TP, Athena n CS whose lives have now been rescheduled and ruled by their babies! Do keep sending me pics and ya videos too!
